Cat Sitting Montezuma

About: Hi there! My name’s Emma, I'm 25 years old. I’m a Dog and Cat Mama to three of my own fur babies, and work part time for the local school district. I've raised animals my whole life, and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors at 12, and I took care of the same animals regularly for nearly 6 years. Taking care of animals is second nature for me, and it's a fun way to help pay the bills. I do also have experience with epileptic dogs, elderly animals, and pets who need medicine regularly administered. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I work for the school district almost full time so have limited availability throughout the school year, with more availability during “winter break” and full time availability throughout summer break. I am only able to go to client's homes, I do not have the space to house client's pets. That being said, I treat and care for every animal as if it was my own. For client's I make myself daily checklists for the pets needs to make sure I never miss a thing.

About: Experienced Vet Tech • Animal Caregiver I’ve been working with animals since 2017, beginning as a manager at a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility in Livermore, where I also cared for Alameda County Sheriff’s animals. Every temperament I met taught me something new and ultimately led me into veterinary medicine in 2019. Since then, I’ve worked in veterinary hospitals throughout Danville/Blackhawk, Fremont, and Pleasanton. After years in vet med, I’ve realized what I love most is simply caring for the animals themselves. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet—their quirks, routines, personalities, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I have a knack for connecting with animals and making sure their individual needs are understood and met. Most of the animals I meet end up becoming little friends of mine. The occasional possum or feral cat may not be quite as convinced, but I promise I’ll still give them my very best. ❤️ Your pet will be cared for with the experience, patience, and genuine love I would want for my own. I am taking a step back from my career and pursuit of Veterinary Medicine. I would like to get to the basics of what I know and love so very much. Caring for and spending time with each animal. Making sure they get the care they deserve, and so much more. I like continue with each animals normal routine. If they like to lay out in the sun for a few hours, that’s what we will do. If they want to play fetch until nap time, consider it done. If we want to go for a run through the neighborhood or a walk on a nearby trail, I’m ready to go.

About: I am currently a medical student with a pretty flexible schedule and deep love for all animals. I have owned cats my entire life and a couple dogs. I care greatly for the happiness of pets. They deserve nothing but love and comfort in their caregiving. A bond between pet and owner is very special and I know how hard it is to have obligations that take you away from them for any amount of time. It’s important to me that your pet receives the comfort, affection, and mental stimulation they need while they are waiting for you to come home. I am a lover of all dogs, big dogs, little dogs, young and old. I am very excited to get to know your dog by walking them, feeding them, and stopping by to take care of your dog if you are out of town. Puppies are no problem. I may not have as much experience working with dogs but I have not met a dog that did not like me and I am very friendly and excited to spend more time around dogs. I won't let you down! I have a deep love for cats as well. They are simply such a gift. I have much more experience in caring for cats. I have school 4 days a week from 2-4 hours a day. I have plenty of free time for loving on your sweet pets. I am willing and able to come to your home where your pet is most comfortable! I also have the ability to host them at my apartment where we have nearby walking paths and a dog park!

“This was the first time hiring a pet sitter for my cat and I really lucked out finding Nicoletta. Riley seemed to warm up to Nicoletta very quickly and she took really great care of him. I appreciated all the pictures, videos and updates. Nicoletta even walked Riley outside on his leash which isn't always easy to do with a cat. I'm so happy to have found someone I can count on and trust to take great care of my little cat boy when I'm away from home.”

About: We’re Back! 🐾❤️ We’re a team with a shared love for animals! We actually met while working at Pet Food Express, so caring for animals has been part of our story from the very beginning. We both have hands-on pet care experience, and I’ve been in the animal industry since around 2012, with a background in pet nutrition, retail, grooming, and volunteer work. We’re experienced with pets of all sizes, seniors, and animals with special needs, and we’re happy to accommodate medication needs. Now, I work mornings and my partner Ashley works from home, so your pets will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day! We live in a spacious three-bedroom home with lots of natural light and a large backyard for exploring, playing, and relaxing. We love dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacups to Great Danes, and we’re big cat lovers, too! Nail trims are available upon request for an additional fee. Our goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. We can’t wait to meet your furry family! 🐶🐱💕 I am very flexible, accommodating, and available to work around you and your pets schedule, making it easy for drop off and pick up times. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pug to keep your pup company. Our pug is also crate trained and will be separated when my eyes can’t be on them. Our home is very calm and inviting. We don’t do loud noises or have a lot company over. We always love to have pups around! Can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

About: Hello, friend!!! I have been housesitting and caring for other's pets, homes, and gardens since my teen years. As a writer I spend a lot of time working from home, meaning that I will largely be available throughout the day to give your pets all the attention they need and ease the discomfort of having their loved one (you!) away for a while. Staying attuned to an animal's needs comes naturally for me as it brings me fulfillment as well. Cats are my absolute favorite - I have had a cat as a companion in every stage of my life and cared for many more. I have cared for many dogs as well, but mostly quieter dogs with a "cat-like" demeanor. I have sensory sensitives so I am unable to care for younger and more energetic dogs that bark a lot. (Barking because excited for certain activities is expected and fine, though). Other pets I have owned and cared for include smaller pets such as goldfish, bearded dragons, hermit crabs, snakes, and tarantulas. I have great respect for what a home means and treat every space I am in with reverence, keeping it clean and cared for. I also have light experience gardening and am comfortable watering a mass of plants! I have housesat several locations that have an entire array of potted plants. I always make sure they are well tended to and kept as lively as ever! A little bit about me - I am a 35 year old writer and performance artist. (They/them pronouns). I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, and attended college in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I received my BA in Creative Writing and Literature. I remained in the beautiful high desert for close to a decade in earlier adulthood. The culture and gorgeous landscapes of both Northern California and New Mexico have deeply informed who I am. I've also worked in childcare and children's entertainment. Being a caretaker has always come naturally to me and often brings me a sense of fulfillment. Some of my favorite activities (other than writing and performing) are hiking, reading, dancing, reading tarot, and making art. Any of my close loved ones will tell you I am a calm, kind, humorous, intelligent, and thoughtful person who approaches all things in life from the heart and with great intention. I can't wait to meet you and give your beloved pets the attention and love they deserve while you go on your next great adventure! Since I mostly work from home writing, pet care easily fits into my daily schedule. Occasionally, I have live performances and community events but when I am needed all day elsewhere I typically know well in advance and can communicate with you effectively to make sure this housesit is still a good fit for both of us and especially your beloved pet! All pet care will take place in your home, so I will keep your pets' routine as stated, ensuring that nothing is disrupted for them aside from your departure. Plants and home will also be cared for as you would care for it. Cleanliness is part of my values, so you can expect your home to be as organized and neat as you left it. I do not do deep cleaning such as vacuuming unless previously negotiated.

“Hands down, I'm very appreciative of Jesselle and very happy to leave this positive review. My cat, who is extremely shy, was looked after by Jesselle for 20 days. She was always kind and patient with both me and my cat, allowing him to adjust and feel comfortable at his own pace. Since this was my cat's first time boarding, I was initially a bit concerned. However, Jesselle sent many pictures and videos, showing my cat gradually interacting more with her and the other cats. It gave me peace of mind to see him doing fine. No question, I will be looking for her for the next trip. Thank you Jesselle!”
